ACCIDENTAL PERVERT is the true accounting of one boy’s odyssey to manhood via a childhood dominated by pornography, an addiction accumulated after the boy happens upon his father’s collection of XXX-Rated video tapes in a bedroom closet, just to the right of his golf clubs, above the cowboy boots, behind the sweatshirts, all the way up in the top left hand corner. Andrew Goffman takes his audience on a hilarious and self-deprecating journey into a world of video vixens, X-Rated fantasies, and really DIRTY movies with no redeeming value whatsoever. He found the tapes at 11 years-of-age. The addiction controlled him until he was 26.THE YEAR HE MET HIS WIFE.

About Love Letters:

A.R. Gurney’s “Love Letters,” is a simple yet dynamic story about a 50-year correspondence between the artistic Melissa Gardner and her more conservative childhood friend Andrew Makepeace Ladd III.

Although the play is told by actors reading from the stage do not let the lack of pizzazz deter you. This show has amazingly brilliant compassion and understanding about friendship and love.

The play, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1990 originally premiered in a library (of all places!) and quickly found it’s way into the hearts of millions around the world.

Actors have flocked to “Love Letters” both when it was on Broadway and Off-Broadway because it’s a fantastic story that also works well with their very limited availability.

The director is Tony nominee Gregory Mosher (Broadway’s “A View from the Bridge” in 2009-10).

What are you waiting for? Go fall in LOVE with Love Letters! I know we did.
